The full picture
Demekin is a second-floor specialty shop serving massive, elaborate kakigori with soft shaved ice and unique fillings. People visit for non-traditional flavors like fusion tea and apple or chocolate-blueberry combos.
This spot suits dedicated dessert fans and foodies who appreciate oversized portions and creative toppings.
Peak times can lead to significant delays in entry, so it is best to avoid the busiest mid-afternoon hours.
💡 The menu is limited and only in Japanese, and the small space can get quite warm during the summer months.

★★★★★
Tried the “La France” flavor and it was really tasty. I’ve had shaved ice in LA and Melbourne, and this was probably my favorite place so far. The ice is very soft and you get bits of fillings in every bite. I really liked the fusion tea and apple flavors, which I thought was unique and non-traditional.
Service was also friendly, and our server tried his best to explain the limited menu to us as there’s no English menu.

This store shows no respect to customers at all. They delayed your entry time for 40 minutes without any apologies because they just can’t manage the store well, and it’s super hot inside that I’m sweating when I am in a “shaved ice” store which I expected to be cooling down a bit. I have no idea why they save money on cooling down such a small space.
★★★★★
Exceptional kakigori - taste, presentation, atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Heaven in a bowl! I arrived after closing hours but was so eager to try that they made me a portion after all. I had the chocolate - blueberry combo and it was amazing. My fear was that it would taste like water but they are so generous with the condensed milk and toppings that every bite is full of flavour.
I absolutely loved it!
★★★★
Massive elaborate beastmode dessert kakigori. After eating here, I can understand why there is a "less base" option on the menu. These are 2-3x the size of an average kakigori and priced accordingly.
There is a double size available that I assume is only suitable for competitive eaters.
Minus a star for playing some of the most terrible American music.
